[ 2008.03.15 ] - Situation Update

Mission 5 is basically done. I need to put in loads of sounds and the last new weapon for Dai-X. I'm also working on a separate mission that seeks to recreate the X-Bomber exactly as it was in the original show. The mission will also take place in Earth's solar system rather than in another one as is the case for most of the game. The difficulty is making the new instruments and changing the level engine to accommodate this new mission.

There's no point rushing these additions as hardware acceleration won't be available from Clickteam for months yet, meaning that X-Bomber will run slowly on most machines.
